What are Advantages and how on Earth do you select them for your campaign?
In this podcast episode, Pat and Che discuss the different types of Advantages in the game system, categorised as mental, physical, and social, with further classifications as mundane, exotic, or supernatural. They review specific examples including Absolute Timing, Acute Senses, Affliction, Allies, and supernatural abilities like Blessed and Psychometry, explaining how these function in gameplay and how frequency roles determine how often social advantages like allies appear in long-form campaigns.
The hosts also address listener questions about character advantages/disadvantages, recommending collaborative character creation focused on concept-appropriate traits rather than overwhelming players with all available options. Pat explains that in a mundane spy campaign like \"Sandbaggers,\" characters should focus on social advantages and realistic human attributes rather than exotic or supernatural abilities.
Big thanks to Ty for the call-in!
